"When you see the Southern Cross for the first time…" you may want to have a bottle of this along with you – in addition to pointing out the location of the star Alpha Crucis on the label, it’s a fine glass of wine at a steal of a price. Bright black cherry, blackberry and tar aromas lead to a palate that shows the lighter side of Aussie Shiraz – racy acidity keeps the well translated flavors lively and extends the integrated finish for a good while. "What heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten" and you’ll have no trouble remembering this wine. Well Done! And thanks to CSN&Y.
